Abstract:Background: The ability of Candida albicans, an important human fungal pathogen, to develop filamentous forms is a crucial determinant for host invasion and virulence. Filamentation is triggered by different host environmental cues such as temperature and pH. Hypoxia, the dominant conditions that C. albicans encounters inside the human host, promote filamentation, however, the contributing mechanisms remain poorly characterized.
Methods: We performed a quantitative analysis of gene deletion mutants from differ… Show more
